[DeTomaso] 10 qt oil pans

The oil cooler and its lines shouldn't drain so the only time they should be taken into account is upon the very first fill with the cooler installed. If for some reason they do drain over time I'd make sure that they didn't have time to dump into the oil pan before checking the level.
